Gimme a break. All I know is that Pierzynski made ANOTHER smart play, and scored from 3rd base on the sacrifice fly after taking out Barrett, who was blocking home plate without the ball. Game winning run, my frent.

Now if that was Erstad, all we'd here about is what a "gamer" is.

And we even did you guys a huge favor this week, by sweeping Oakland. Where's the love???

Erstad, simply, wouldn't do that; any Angel exhibiting consistently bad behavior is ejected from the team, c.f. Jose Guillen, and are certainly not traded for. On the White Sox, they nominate those kinds of players for awards; by now, Pierzynski is in the firmament, and his number half retired, as much for his quick thinking in last year's ALCS as for his jackasstry. Kick trainers in the nuts? Here, we'll give you three years at ten mill per.

Read my post from the day, something you seem incapable of doing ... just like paying attention. Nobody ever said Barrett was in the right on that... just that Pierzynski has had it coming for a long time, and there are more than a few people -- including the team he used to work for, in case you didn't notice! -- who were happy to see him get it. The fact that Giants fans were pleased to see him get punched should tell you all you need to know about your hypothesis as to whether Angels fans would be cheering for him were he in that uniform.
